Actress Blake Lively subtly reveals potential upcoming project amidst intensifying drama on Justin Baldoni's series
Rewritten Article:
Gossip Girl star Blake Lively is stepping up her game, focusing on her hair brand following a tumultuous legal dispute with Justin Baldoni, and some heated drama with her former pal Taylor Swift.
On Friday, May 17th, Lively took to Instagram, sparking excitement by revealing a sneak peek of an upcoming launch for her brand. The news couldn't have come at a better time, as her legal team dropped a legal bombshell just a day prior.
As the dust settles from the heated legal drama surrounding the film It Ends With Us, rumors swirl about Lively's attempt to pressure Swift into backing her in the court battle with Baldoni.
According to insider sources, Swift is allegedly done with Lively after being tangled in the lawsuit, vehemently denying any control over the film in question. Swift's team quickly shut down the allegation, with the pop superstar maintaining she never stepped foot on the movie's set and had no direct involvement in the dispute.
Despite Baldoni's legal team’s repeated attempts to bring Swift into the courtroom, a judge has ruled against these efforts, labeling Lively’s personal text messages as irrelevant to the case at hand.
The ongoing legal battle has been met with pushback from Lively's side, strongly denying any coercive efforts to secure Swift’s support in the dispute. As the court sides with dismissing the recent filings, it appears that for now, Swift remains officially uninvolved in the legal fight.
With a fresh start on the horizon for Lively, the actress seems ready to put the drama behind her, transforming her focus to her brand and creating excitement for her upcoming launch.

Integrated Insights: In the ongoing legal drama, Justin Baldoni's attorney Bryan Freedman claimed in a May 14, 2025 court filing that an anonymous source indicated Lively’s legal team made "extortionate threats" to Swift's law firm, demanding a public statement of support for Lively, implying that refusal might lead to the leak of private text messages. Additionally, it was alleged that Lively pressured Swift to delete certain text messages[1][2]. Despite repeated efforts by Baldoni's team to link Swift more closely to the legal dispute, various denials and legal pushback from Lively’s side and the court's ruling against Baldoni’s recent filings on this matter have thus far kept Swift officially out of the legal fray[1][3].
